Site Redesigntag:myphotostitch.com,2009:2013/01/30/site-redesign2013-01-30T07:30:00Z2013-01-30T07:30:00ZMyPhotoStitch
<p>You've probably noticed by now, but the site just got a major facelift. Over the winter holiday we spent some time redesigning the site, and it is finally ready to launch. The pattern making forms should be a lot clearer now, and the advertisements should be clearly labeled. Unfortunately, the iPad does not allow picture uploading to web pages, so you can not make patterns from it (it is an Apple problem, unfortunately). If you find any other problems, please <a href="/Contact/Contact.html">Let us know</a></p>
<p>
Additionally, we are considering adding user accounts that would let people store their patterns online, show them off, and track their progress as they're stitching. If you are interested, <a href="/betaprogram/">sign up here</a> to get early access to the program when it launches.
</p>
<p>
If you have any questions, concerns, or find any problems with the site redesign, then let us know. Otherwise, happy stitching.

Update on Recent Errorstag:myphotostitch.com,2009:2011/12/28/Update-on-recent-errors2011-12-28T10:30:00Z2011-12-28T10:30:00Z
I finally founds some time to update the site. Hopefully the changes will mostly take care of the OverQuotaError errors that people have been seeing. At the very least, the changes should make the errors less frequent.
<br/><br/>
As an extra bonus, I've deployed an experimental version of a crochet pattern maker. It's still very rough around the edges, but please let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions on it. You can access it through the advanced pattern maker option by selecting "crochet pattern" as the pattern type.
Frequent errors on the websitetag:myphotostitch.com,2009:2011/11/21/frequent-errors-on-the-website2011-11-21T09:01:00Z2011-11-21T09:01:00ZMyPhotoStitch
<p>I apologize to everyone who has had trouble with the website in the past few weeks.</p>
<p>My web host recently changed their quota system, and as a result the site now goes over quota towards the end of the day. This causes error messages like:
<blockquote>"OverQuotaError: The API call datastore_v3.Put() required more quota than is available."</blockquote>
I am away from my main computer for the next several weeks, traveling for family and business reasons, so unfortunately I won't be able to fix the error for a while.</p>
<p>
If you see that error, please try again in 8-12 hours. My web host resets my quota at approximately midnight, pacific standard time. If you wait until after then, it should work as normal. Again, I apologize for inconvenience, and I'll fix it when I get back home in the middle of December.</p>
I Have the Best Sister Ever!!tag:myphotostitch.com,2009:2010/08/05/I-Have-the-Best-Sister-Ever2010-08-05T10:00:00Z2010-08-05T10:00:00ZMyPhotoStitch
<p>Last weekend my sister gave me the nicest present ever. As a thank you gift for making her the site, she made me a cross stitch from a photo of my brother, sister, and I, based on the photo on the about page.</p>
<div style="width: 510px; text-align: center;">

<p>
She's been working on it in secret for a very long time, and when she gave it to me it just blew me away. I love you cutie 3.14...!
</p>
<br />
<p>
In other news, I just checked and the site has generated over 100,000 patterns. Even if most of them will never be stitched, it's still amazing to me. Thanks to everyone who has written with comments and helpful suggestions, and thanks to everyone who has shared patterns with the blog. I'm swamped with work for the next few weeks, so I won't be posting many updates, but keep sharing your patterns and I'll try post them as soon as I can.

User Sujani also shared this cross stitch chart of some flying birds. I would cut the background out on this one as well. That would leave a nice set of birds and a pattern that I think would turn out nice. Thanks for sharing again, Sujani.

User Sujani shared this cross stitch chart of some cute puppies. The dogs came out looking nice, but the background is a bit weird. I would recommend removing the background, or at least the non-grass areas of the background for this pattern.

User Kirsten shared this Pokemon cross stitch chart, with the following description:
<blockquote>
<p>
This is one of my favorite Pokemon characters, Snorlax. It's funny and would make a cute little cross stitch. These pixel sprites make really good patterns when you know what you're doing. :]
</p><p>
If you clean up your .gif images, (filling transparent backgrounds with white, etc) you can really get a good, crisp cross stitch pattern! Smaller .gifs work best, pixel-for-stitch!
</p><p>
Credit goes to Nintendo for their material.
